THE PETZ KITCHEN™ YELLOW MACAis a tuberous root that grows in the Andean Highland Mountains at altitudes of up to 15000 feet, under some of the most severe weather conditions found on the planet.

YELLOW MACAhas been qualified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most important complete and sustainable protein sources found on earth. Maca has a history of use for animals for over 3,000 years and has been widely researched for its nutritional and potential health benefits for dogs, cats, small animals and horses.

Because of the extremes in sun, wind and snow that YELLOW MACA is exposed to, it produces a stunning array of over 55 natural phytochemicals, and represents one of the planet's truly sustainable and complete protein sources.

YELLOW MACA has been attributed with potential health benefits related to endocrine support specific to the hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal and thyroid glands, the master glands in the body. The hypothalamus and pituitary glands help regulate all other glands in the body, including producing and maintaining hormones, which are required for every body system to operate properly.

YELLOW MACA may possibly help stimulate, nourish and rebuild glandular tissues, important in conditional needs related to Cushing’s, Addison's and diabetes, may help reduce metabolic stress, may help provide cognitive support and may help boost vitality.

YELLOW MACA's adaptogen plant content is used holistically to help improve your pet's resistance to metabolic, oxidative, physiological, biochemical, physical, emotional, environmental, immune, central nervous and neurological stress and dysfunction, due in part, to its alkaloid and amino and fatty acid content which may help nutritionally support the endocrine system.

An additional benefit in adding Maca to your pet's diet is its studied effects to help signal your dog and cat's Endocannabinoid system, providing your dog and cat with potential layered therapeutic effects in a single treat or meal.
